New enhanced autofilter popup window looks and works fine when working with narrow columns, but since its width is fixed it looks to be too narrow when working with wide columns containing long data (especially if data is the same at the beginning and differs only at the end) so that when trying to filter you can’t see the whole length of the content, which makes it very hard to find the content you want to filter for. Probable solution: it should either have width of the top column cell or be resizeable so user could set its size manually (either for every column, or for a sheet, or at least for program itself). Also it would be nice to have ability to change its vertical size to see all filtering values.

Comment in Bug 65283 mentions workaround: after opening autofilter pop-up window, one can press Shift + F1. Then, whole entry will be shown in tooltip (just hover your mouse above long entry).
Created attachment 99832 [details] screenshot in odg file Setting importance to high, as this feature is very important for data analyst in spreadsheet. The long text (actually not very long) in a filter is not fully shown even if the column width is very wide.

Created attachment 109189 [details] Screenshot: AutoFilter dialog in Apache OpenOffice 4.1 Just for information, in Apache OpenOffice 4.1 autofilter has the same width as the column (thus it is resizable by resizing the column width).
